Lord Churchill Again.
THE ECCENTRIC TORY STARTS ANOTHER STUMP ATTACK
ON GLADSTONE.

ON GLADSTONE.
Lord Randolph Churchill, speaking at Newcastle
Saturday, declared that Mr.. GladstOnes proposals
regarding Ireland, as they now stood, meant the
breaking up OF the union and the ruin Of the en-
pire. He denied that the government had lightly
adopted coercion. They had tried to rule Ireland
by ordinary law until the plan OF campaign rem
dered this impossible. The plan OF campaign, ne
said, was exactly similar TO the "No rent" mani
festo which had heen Mr. GiadstOne's Justification
for coercion. Lord Randolph rdicules the idea that
The Parnellites had cnanged their methods and
aims. Mr.. Gladstone ought TO be the last to de-
nOunce the Irish police FOR they had got at logger
heads with the peopie In carrying out repeated
Gladstone coercion acts. II pOli,ical changes were
henceforth to be effected BY public disturbance and
defiance OF the Law, highlands prosperity would
quickly fade.
